Abstract
Overview about the main biomed-related education and research activities at the University of Stuttgart. Especially insight into the BSc/MSc programs “Medical Engineering”, the graduate research school “Tissue differentiation” together with the University of Tübingen, and the inter-faculty research cluster “BioMed-systems” at the University of Stuttgart.
In the second part of the talk recent results on 3d-printed optical systems in the group of Prof. Herkommer are presented. Two-photon direct laser writing (Nanoscribe) is used to fabricate various micro-optical systems for illumination, endoscopy, metrology, quantum systems and OCT (here in collaboration the University of Adelaide, Prof. Robert McLaughlin and Dr. Jiawen Li).
Biography
Alois Herkommer received his PhD in physics in 1995 from the University of Ulm in the area of quantum optics. In 1996 he joined Carl Zeiss in Oberkochen and worked on the optical design of high performance lithographic and metrology systems. From 2000 to 2005 he was with the optical design group at Carl Zeiss Laser Optics GmbH. Afterwards he headed the illumination design group and later the systems design group at the Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH. In 2011 he joined the Institut für Technische Optik at the University of Stuttgart.
His research interests are: optical design of imaging and illumination systems, novel optical systems concepts, optical system analysis and simulation, design and simulation methods, medical applications of optical systems.
